<p>Hello and welcome to another edition of This Week in Solid!</p>

<p><a href="https://solidproject.org">Solid</a> is a set of open specifications, built on existing open standards, that describes how to build applications in such a way that users can conveniently switch between data storage providers and application providers and take the data generated along.</p>

<p>This is a weekly summary of Solid progress.</p>

<p>Want something mentioned? Contact the Solid Manager at info@solidproject.org. This Week in Solid is openly developed <a href="http://github.com/solid/solidproject.org/blob/master/_posts/this-week-in-solid/next.md">on GitHub</a>. If you find any errors in this week’s issue please <a href="https://github.com/solid/solidproject.org/pulls">submit a pull request</a>.</p>

<p>Want to get involved? <a href="https://solidproject.org/standardisation">Contributions are welcome.</a></p>

<p>Every Thursday there is an hour-long public call where newcomers can introduce themselves, anyone can ask general questions about Solid, and we recap the weeks’ works on Solid.</p>

<p>Tune in at <a href="https://zoom.us/j/261297657">this line</a>:</p>
<ul>
  <li>on the 2nd January 2020 at 16:00.</li>
  <li>on the 9th January 2020 at 10:00.</li>
